AltHero, the alt-right's new favorite superhero comic

The fuck...it's even got a Doberman.

You have to love the developers of Wolfenstein 2: A new colossus. ;) I suspect that you will actually see it in the game when you have gameplay sequences in the headquarters just like in the first game or something (you can watch the tv).

They are incapable of doing anything creatively because for them, their entire world revolves around their incredibly repetitive politics.

For all their whining about how "the left" politicizes things, every single page of every issue of this rag is going to be nonstop political agenda pushing in extremely unsubtle, unentertaining and unconvincing ways.

Recall Fox trying to do comedy like the Daily Show. It was hideous, because they couldn't separate their desire to push the right wing agenda from a attempt to tell jokes.
 
How could Russia be a military superpower if the nazis actually destroyed the soviet union in 1956?

Because getting rid of the commies allowed it to become Putintopia. Now Putin and Steven Seagal stand with their right wing allies around the world against the tyranny of Gilmour Girls reruns and hot teenage blondes who might date black guys.

I'm guessing Van Sciver will end up there. Had some discussions with him way back in the day on Geoff Johns boards. Whooo boy.
 
There are a lot of people that are looking forward to this in some of the comic collecting groups I'm in on Facebook. The moderation team there doesn't let things get too heated when it comes to politics, but when people are excited for something like this, it starts getting worrying.

Also, Chuck Dixon isn't awesome. The fact that he signed on for this proves that he's a big piece of shit.

That's interesting. I mean, the comic looks like shit. The art sucks. The whole concept is pandering, bottom of the barrel schlock.

I highly doubt it's going to have any value over time, it's a niche political comic with bad art. Who would think it's valuable, maybe 100 years from now in some dystopia where all comics from the 21st century have inherent value because most of them were burned in the great cleansing.

So it must be the politics, then.

It's probably going to have limited runs, and in time may hold the same macabre fascination as Nazi relics or racist advertising from earlier times in our country.

Half-Hour News Hour was different because it was intended to be political from the jump.

This is more like when devout Christians try to make a "Christian" version of something. Usually (outside of some of the better Christian Rock), it's so loaded down with its own identity that it just comes off terribly.
 
Look at this SJW.

What is up with the alt-right and redheads? Their fake video gamer waifu Vivian James was also a busty redhead.

It’s a trend that is making me feel bad about liking red heads. This is also making me ashamed to be a comic book fan. The saving grace for me is at least quite a few creators in the industry are willing to stand up to these fucks and I still want to support them for that.
 
If the alt-right was actually a cutting edge, sophisticated political movement like they purport themselves to be, they would be infusing their ideology into existing comics, changing things from within. They wouldn't have to make their own counterfeit looking book and market it like 'hey guys this is an alt right comic book!'. They can't even do this on an actual kickstarter, they have their own low rent version of that, too.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet

Alt-right has a bizarre obsession with girls who color their hair, the poster-child of "SJW!" for them.

I guess they see redheads as less likely to color their hair since it's already a unique color? Or something like that. Some projection I'm sure.
 

In Savage Dragon #218, Erik Larsen's long-running creator-owned series became the first major American comic book to address the election of Donald Trump to the office of the President of the United States, with series lead Malcolm Dragon saying "we're f---ed."

Oh, I gotta read it.

Lol, that is what I'd come up with if you asked me to create a female superhero targeted to a knuckle-dragging beta male audience of socially isolated white men. It looks like some shit out of that amazing Wolfenstein II trailer.
 
Vox Day being a Native American Nazi is still v confusing.

I don't understand why people of color who hate women decide to try to fit in with the Nazis. I mean... You know they want you dead, right?

Why make such alternate history ?

Just to justify that being a Nazi is good ?

Do this mean the secretly know that being a Nazi is bad ?

Okay well



hold on



fucking lol at the stupid "clean wehrmact" myth right in the synopsis. way to tip your hand on the "actually most of the nazis were good, it was just hitler was rude" shit from the getgo

I interpreted it as an effort to establish the EU as a continuation of the Nazi regime in this "not-too-different" world.

I'm also curious as to how they manage to make China into a power on the world stage as the industrialized Japan was steamrolling their way through Southeast Asia. Obviously an asspull to demonize the Chinese, but still.

"Hey, Nazis had some pretty good ideas if you think about it. Hitler just had a bad approach. And the Holocaust didnt happen."

"The Holocaust didn't happen and yet for some reason I feel the (((globalists))) need to be wiped out all the same". Alt-Right logic yo.

There are Nazis who prefer not to be called Nazis but Natsocs/national socialists who believe in the party ideology but think Hitler was the wrong man to lead the party. Strasserists for example.

And then you've got meme edgelords trying to hide their power level for plausible deniability.
 
Because redheads are white.

Sami Zayn is a Canadian born to Syrian parents and he's a redhead. I doubt the alt-right counts anyone from Syria white.

The amount of jewish redheads in the world is crazy high and we know they don't consider them human.

It's just a sad fetish that's common among a lot of frustrated white dudes.
